I had a brother
But now my brother is gone
I search the sky for a
Glimpse of his blue eyes

And there I find
His image in the clouds
If I could wish, wish it away
I would bleed out my knees and pray

If I could give, all that I have
To bring him back today
These are but dreams
As sad as it seems

I'm always wide awake
Understand it was not
Easy for my friend
Oh promises

Even to yourself cannot be kept
Enlarge the hole in my heart
Rising river in the dark
Erodes the shore

Till our shores were far apart
If I could wish, wish it away
I would bleed out my knees and pray
If I could give, all that I have

To bring him back today
These are but dreams
As sad as it seems
They never go away

There’s no previous reference
For this level of pain
I can’t feign indifference
I can’t look away

The years, they go by
The hurt I still hide
If I look okay, it’s just the outside
There’s no previous reference

For this level of pain
Oh I could hear him sing
If I could wish, wish it away
I would bleed out my knees and pray

If I could give, all that I have
To bring back yesterday
These are but dreams
As sad as it seems

They never go away
These are but dreams
As sad as it seems
I'm always wide awake

And I would not wish upon you
But should you ever leave this earth
Before me, I doubt this highly
Do for me, what I’d do for you

Put your arms around my friend
Put your arms around my friend
Put your arms around my brother, my friend

Say for me, for me
Fuck you
Fuck you
Fuck you
